Neil woke up early and thought of hitting the gym. He got dressed in a gym attire and taking his phone and AirPods while connecting it he walks out of the room. He connects his phone and made his way to the gym.
He smiles when he found Manik coming out of his room. He paused the music and rushed to Manik while calling his name to grab his attention.
Manik turns around and found Neil walking up to him. He smiles and wished him good morning.
Manik : good morning Neil. Going to gym?
Neil : good morning Bhai. Yes, are you also going.
Manik nodded his head and both of them smiles and made their to the gym. They went entered inside and starts doing their workout when Manik asked Neil something that caught him off guard.
Manik : when are you going to propose Avni?
Neil stops and looks at Manik in shock because he wasn't expecting this kind of question from him.
Neil : what? Bhai, what are you saying? I mean.
Manik : you heard it right Neil. When are you going to propose her? I hope you are not playing with her or your own feelings Neil.
Neil : no Bhai! Why would you say like that? What I feel about Avni is mutual. I am not sure about the love yet but I'm definitely sure I'm going falling for her. I don't rush anything between us. We are taking time to realise our own feelings . Why you brought all this out of sudden? What made you think like that?
Manik : Neil don't get me wrong but I feel if you feel anything about Avni then confess soon before it's too late. You never know what might happen. Don't hold yourself. I genuinely believe you Neil. I heard Nandini talking about you. Is it true what I heard?
Neil: I do understand you Bhai. I will never think about hurting her. What did Bhabhi say?
Manik : she didn't tell me anything but I partially heard her conversation with Avni when she talking over the phone. Is it true you are going back to London? You wanted to know why brought the proposal then because it made me think about Avni. You are planning to return back to London and Avni in India. I'm worried how will you both manage your relationship being distance miles away from each other. I don't want both of you getting hurt Neil.
Neil sighs and comes closer to Manik and sits down beside him. Manik looks at him expressing his worried that has been staring him since few days.
Neil : Bhai, I understand where you are coming from you. I know you are worried for us. Not every long distance relationship break. Bhai I don't know what to say or make you believe you but I promise because of my work commitments I won't neglect my family and my relationship. Our family will always be my priority that also includes Avni. Above anything she will always be first no matter what Bhai.
Manik nodded his head and said nothing because he didn't wanted Neil to be upset. He knows his brother too well now. He has all faith on him.
They both smiled and heard a little laugh before continuing with the workout.
Manik : when do you leave? When are you going to speak to our family about this?
Neil : I leave end of this week Bhai. I'll tell our family today after the dinner. This is why I arranged it.
Manik nodded his head and finishing his workout took a bottle of water and drank it. Neil also completes his workout. They both walks out the gym while talking to each other when Neil thought of going to kitchen. Manik trials behind him for fun.
Neil : wow Bhabhi. Good morning. What are you making? It smells so good. I can't wait it anymore.
Nandini smiles and wished him back while glancing at Manik who comes inside and stood behind her.
